You know what's funny? Back in the 70's and early 80's, when it was first starting out, Cable was pretty much what Streaming is supposed to be now - a commercial free paid TV service. Commercial free since *you* were the ones paying for the shows, and not some product or corporation.
Of course, we all know how long *that* lasted.
Good point!
Yeah, I remember those days in the early 1980s with 'Z-TV' and 'ON-TV" box systems that you leased that provided OTA television (I think it was satellite-based?). Kind of expensive so I never had it, and the high monthly cost created a thriving market for knock-off 'black market' boxes. I'm not sure what happened to those but cable really got rolling in the late-1980s in my area.
Yes. Paying for a streaming service that has ads is cable TV. Plus the pricing is getting to where you might as well go back to cable.
agree, if you want Hulu with the local channels & FS1 to watch Nascar it's $89 & if I have 2 TV's running they are not in time, streaming video is not as good as cable & almost the same price, as is the case with most technology these days, it's not all it's cracked up to be, after awhile watching 40 yr old movies gets old, when will we be a able to just pick the 5-8 channels we wan to watch & be done with this nonsense
I can agree to a degree, but the cost is what makes the difference for whoever wants the ads. I pay mostly not to have ads, so I'm good so far.
@@ryebeach1you can get an attena for locals btw and if you want to stream them there's stuff like table or Plex.
if you pay for top streaming services like Max, Netflix etc, etc you might be paying close to cable TV prices. But ad plans with streaming services like Netflix have far fewer ads than traditional cable TV. Netflix generally has 1 or 2 commercials during a break and sometimes may be 1 minute away from program.
@@Forest77Wood we have Netflix, problem is there isn't very much to watch, unless you like B movies, I don't really watch TV to waste time, I just want the local news & weather, a financial channel & some sports, 5 -8 channels of my choosing would be fantastic, but it will never happen
Streaming is becoming normal TV. Retrans consent is an issue on its own. In your show yesterday you talked about three different streaming providers having NFL games. That’s no different then ESPN carrying some games, Fox sports carrying others, locals Fox, ABC, NBC carrying others. At least with normal TV it’s one provider to carry all networks. But you are paying for multiple networks that are also owned by ESPN that you may not like. Disney for example.
Free services like Pluto and Tubi have come a long way. Lot's of excellent content.
Tubi is the most expansive service I have ever seen.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tubi has been growing and appears to be making their site more and more customer friendly and easier to use, plus adding good content, both 'Live/On Demand' and movies. Tubi has a minimum of commercials during off-hours for streamed movies, but they do increase them during primetime hours; I'm good with that trade-off. Pluto seems to be lagging behind, I've got an older smart TV and it doesn't work that well with Pluto's search function and screen display. And Pluto keeps increasing the volume of commercials.
I used to always just shrug off Tubi since it’s free, but it’s become one of if not my favorite streaming service.
Totally 💯 agree!
we need to push for ala carte networks. only pay for what you want. no junk channels
Too little, too late. Dollar short, day late. Never, ever going back to Comcast. Period. Even for free.
Meet the new cable boss, same as the old cable boss.
Except it's cheaper and you can select the channels you want and unsubscribe at any month.
@kicapanmanis1060 Yes but I forsee the option of subscribing and unsubscribing so frequently, changing from month to month to maybe signup for 2 month or more at discount or deal to stabilize their profits. I've been saying this for awhile with all the churn these streaming services have had over the years. They are focused more on profitability now so they will make that a priority and continue to try different things.
@@kicapanmanis1060and it's on demand. And there's free with ads options
There is plenty of free content and has more things I'm interested in than a paid service.
Well, we can get individual services for now. I'm concerned about services taking on more things I'm not interested in & jacking their prices up.
Luke, the Pacific Conference is now down to Oregon State and Washington State.
I ended up deciding to keep Hulu on a yearly payment plan and not worry about what Disney’s proposed bundles look like. Hulu is the Disney service that I use the most.
So Luke, do you believe to some extent that streaming services may become similar to how over-the air television is?
But yet, because Comcast wisely invested in DOCSIS cable modem technology, they are now the largest provider of high-speed Internet in the USA. As such, many customers will only buy Comcast's high-speed Internet package because of its wide availability.
Verizon has 5G and it runs better, but yah Comcast has bought more time using this, but companies are starting to catch them, atleast around here
Luke needs to see some consolidation in the streaming/cable/OTA landscape so he doesn't get all the 4-letter words and 4-letter acronym names of stations mixed up and he stumbles through them! 😉
Streaming may look like its becoming cable, but I think its more likely in the initial stages of consolidation. There are just too many channels out there. The bundling might just be test runs to see what works together and what doesn't before some of these streaming channels consolidate on a permanent basis, something of a "musical chairs" situation. And if cable disappears, what happens to traditional OTA TV since it'll lose a lot of revenue from retransmission fees.
This particular bundle is just a Hail Mary pass by Comcast to hold on to customers. While it extrude to cord cutting this is simply a desperate cable company trying to stay relevant
Good Lord, time to invest in a really good antenna and/or reintroduce oneself to a good book.
I love watching you try to rationalize cord cutting, lol. Streaming is the new cable. Different business model, same companies dictating the prices. No not Comcast setting prices the networks do and have been, now you’re just paying the networks directly.
Lmbo!😂😂 Yeah, at first that argument was easier to make but it's getting tight for sure. I still like learning what he knows and being part of thing Cord cutting community to see what is out there I'm not aware of.
@@chalabrooks5433 ditto; think it’s time to stop the comparisons and just focus on the available services, apps, bundles, and deals.
I prefer to pay for the internet rather than cable TV. 💯
cord cutting / streaming is more of death by a thousand paper cuts. instead of one $180 / mo. bill you're getting several $9.99 and $12.99 bills. I still don't know if I'm actually getting all the content I used to get in Discovery+ in Max (paying for Discovery+ still and having Max included in what I pay RUclips TV). When I talk with my in-laws it does nothing but confuse them - they're not up to signing up, canceling, understanding what the bundles are, etc. All they want to do is watch TV - they're pretty much only using RUclipsTV and Netflix - they can under stand that....
The death of cable TV will come when RSNs can be streamed independently
yes
This should be no surprise to anyone. Cord cutting has been - since the start with a la carte services - not about saving money, but rather its about **WATCHING WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT, WHERE YOU WANT** and you can go in and out of each service when needed. So, while you may not save money in the big picture, **YOU ARE IN CONTROL**
Yes but for how long?
Comcast is the only internet available in my area, i hate it
They have a legal monopoly in my township to be the only cable internet provider. Been that way since the early days of the Internet. AT&T got around that a few years ago by offering Fiber internet with no data caps. I switched to them and haven’t looked back. Hopefully you will get other options in the future.
That's how my old apartment was
Using U Tube TV right now for a couple of months for sports - Dropping it after playoffs and using streaming apps in rotation plus antenna for OTA channels- I can tolerate commercials during TV shows- but watching a movie where your just starting to figure out the plot- to be interrupted by 3 to 4 minutes of commercials is a big NO!!
Yes !! The greed is starting now and soon it will be the same old crap 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It is ridiculous. If prices remain low more people will get the service. In this country only the rich survive
Why don't paramount, peacock and abc do a bundle for all you locals and the video on demand?
I find it interesting that they are going to go forward with a football conference that is down to 2 teams, and even more odd, is why would CW have any interest in airing games from a conference that has 2 teams.
My guess would be its cheaper to do it than bidding on ACC/SEC/BIG-10 conference games, and lots of football fans I know will watch it even if its not top-notch college football. I'll bet OSU and WSU have some good teams in their schedule, too, so they can show those games. Don't be surprised if the rivalry games get played on CW (WSU vs Washington and OSU vs Oregon) even though those 'big boys' have moved on.
I'll keep streaming. I want NOTHING to do with cable.
While I agree, streaming offers more freedom and flexibility than cable. Unfortunately, that could change as cable dies, retransmission fees shrink, and streamers grow more desperate to turn a profit.
The content providers and broadcast networks have had an enormous cash cow with cable TV, and to some extent satellite TV, for a long time. Killing cable and sat dish TV appears to be saving consumers money, when looked at in a vacuum. But that is not really sustainable going forward. Something will have to give. Less and/or lower quality original content, higher costs and fees for live TV and on-demand streaming services, some content spread amongst many streaming services (sports in particular), and forced bundling with some content like with cable TV (we're seeing that now).
I would have to say my question to you is that it is advertisers that are killing cable TV because desperate I think and Nordica can’t say nothing else
I don't think streaming is becoming cable, but rather the industry is in transition to something not quite cable or the current incarnation of streaming.
It already is.
Expensive advertiser supported Cable TV is already Dead. Dead cable TV walking. RIP 2024. Rest in Pieces.
I wouldn't say paid services are like cable but they are definitely headed that way. Just like cable you are starting to have to pay for things you didn't ask for such as sports. Netflix is going up in price because of WWE and football everybody that has Netflix now signed up for movies and TV shows.
Nooooooo
Always was🫠
People also want their favorite channels all in one place,so I'm not convinced that cable is dead when seeing the rising prices of streaming. But only time will tell.
The key words here are: "all in in one place". I couldn't agree more. I dropped Dish in January and am watching streaming services now ( so far all free). Streaming is in no way as convenient as my Dish service was!
Luke they are not bribes they are a little friendly persuasion in a monetary fashion
It's not bribery. When companies do it, it's called "lobbying"
Question for Luke why is my TV's picture quality so bad
Question for Luke why is Me-TV picture quality so bad
@@user-rc5yb1io3z Thank you, glad somebody else called it out. I hate watching ME TV. They zoom in on the 4:3 ratio of old TV shows to make it better fill a wide screen TV. It's modern day crop and scan from the old days of tube TVs that would do the same to wide screen movies and cut off the sides so there weren''t black bars.
Antenna TV is the absolute worst when it comes to that. They don't crop the image, they stretch it out to fit a 4:3 image into 16:9 and makes all the actors on TV look short and wide. I don't understand how people can watch it at all. Even for free.
But ME TV's cropping garbage is making me not so enthusastic for their OTA cartoon network.
Nope, Streaming and cord cutting are two separate things. Streaming is the opposite of cord cutting.
Yeah I'm bummed out Paramount + didn't get bundled with Peacock. As for as this bundle I'm not paying 75 for any bundle. So Disney bundle no thank you. If this is that much, no thank you. I'll just have rabbit ears eventually with this GREED
They are bringing back cable tv with ads and a subscription it’s a joke
Who's going to kill Cable Tv? Clearly, it's going be both cord cutters AND advertisers.
There could be a few different reasons. Maybe an older TV a cheap TV or even bad cables. What is your setup?
I hated cable and dish networks because all they had was news and sports . I hate sports and most all the news.900 channels of sports and news or sports news .
I think cord cutters will kill cable. They have done it to themselves.
No I don't think streaming is cable
I won’t be subscribing to these bundles
Who cares who bribes who.
Every business and politician is bribed by everyone. Also my cable two years ago was $290. Cord cutting is not even close.
Pee Wee died some time ago. RIP. TV Reruns live longer then actors. Dead man acting.
Ick.. really in poor taste there, that last line. Come on now. 😳😯🤔😖
Don't feed the trolls @@cherdanland
@@juanthompson8016 sage advice will do ha thanks 👍 🤙
I like your content Luke, but I found it funny how you said your headline gets clicks lol.
